Prayer 

Jesus In January 

As children grow they learn how to manipulate and cajole thier parents into doing certain things or giving them what they want.  Is that how we are to go to God?  Do we just need to find the right formula or methodology to get our heavenly Father to give us what we want?  Can we twist His arm somehow? 

 

REVISIT : Will I Have Enough? 

The Fear Knot 

During January we will be revisiting the series 'The Fear Knot' as a means to prepare us for the year ahead.  This will be additional to the weekly Sunday messages.  This series is originally from April 2016. 

 

Losing Your Axe - Kevin Hodges

What are our expectations?  What do we expect of ourselves?  What do we expect of God?  Maybe those expectations are wrong. 

 

New Beginnings 

John 10:10 

We all want to be better, do better, have better.  Better people, fitter, healthier, richer, smarter, more successful etc.  It seems so difficult at times to find the right formula to acheive our best.  As the new year begins, how hard do we need to try to reach our dreams and goals, or God's? 

 

Christmas Toy Story

 

 

De-cluttering Christmas 

Colossians 2:6-9

Have you ever heard the saying, “throwing the baby out with the Christmas tree?”  No, of course not, I made it up.  But I still want to know, can we clean up our Christmas and still keep the celebration?  I mean, would a less complicated faith make us happier? 

 

The Down-side to Tinsel 

Colossians 2:16-17 

Christmas Traditions are fantastic ways to embed the celebration of Jesus' birth in our calendar, but is there a down side to all the habits?  Likewise, Christian tradition can hold us dearly to our Saviour through life, or become a road block to genuine intimacy with Him. 

 

Faithfulness - Ben Delaney 

Faith and faithfulness.  What is the difference?  Why are we encouraged to have both?  How does it look in our lives?  How do we obtain faith and faithfulness?  Life is not the same without them. 

 

How Can I Control Myself? 

Mark 9:17-24 

It's crazy that we don’t have control over ourselves. The Holy Spirit is shining light in dark corners of the urges that drive us, leaving us with the power to finally govern ourselves.  

 

Gentleness 

Steve Crouch 

Can the gentle win?  Or should we adopt the tough skinned life of the world?  The Holy Spirit is helping us learn how to wrestle as 90 pound weaklings.
